A great BUT tough slog.
Ok. This book offers so much information in one place your mind just melts. But it is the same fact that so much information is contained that makes this book so wonderful.The author refrains from much analysis of his own that drove me to consider the set from reading his other works. But there are 2 problems.#2 the book contains other books in the set. For someone who is on a strick budget, books are a luxury. It should recognize that you already have a book purchased that is also contained in the encyclopedia. It should then say you already have a book in this set and remove or give a discount. Gospel of Mary Magdalene and Gospel of Thomas are explicit examples. Why must you pay twice for them when they are contained in the larger book.#1 The glaring problem is that his own books to no coincide with each other or book from other authors on vary same subject. This and his other books on lost gospels take actual printed text from the translated actual source. These writings and texts he is using are not interpretations but word for word copies of the official authorized text. But his books differ in these official texts from themselves and other authors. In both his books Gospels of Mary Magdalene and Thomas and this book, the official texts vary both from line to line in both of individual words but of whole sentences. That can't be. These texts must coincide with his other books word for word BUT ALSO with other authors that are using the same very texts in their books. I frankly would like to know why.

A must read to aquire the knowledge required for human growth and enlightenment.
I love this book. The translation is amazing, and the extras are available for me whenever I am on the go which I adore. Having access to more knowledge is crucial to understanding humanity and what is expected of us. Gaining knowledge that was previously hidden from us by aristocrats who felt that keeping it hidden would control the masses only shows us how truly life changing and important the knowledge within these hidden texts truly were to our development of our human race. We all need to read them and study them for our enlightenment.

A Theological Treasure
This book is a very well organized compilation of scripture and dialogue of New Testament Biblical characters.I believe it to be authentic not only because of the scriptures that are found in our traditional Bibles but because of the candor of the dialogues within the group.It gives much deeper meaning of the traditional scriptures and even shows how some of the scriptures in our traditional Bible were actually quoted from these texts but not at the same depth.It starts off at the disciple level and takes you up to unfathomable levels of heaven and spirituality. Making the government of heaven and its impact on us seem smaller while maintaining its complexity and unfathomable vastness.Then again it brings us back down to the disciples level where we can see how it impacts us now.One thing that really impressed me was the questions the disciples asked. It seems to me they were far more intelligent than what I realized by what I read in our traditional Bible.It seems even the simplest of them had intelligence beyond that of most of our collage graduates today.I do recommend this book if you are interested in theology but warn that it is quite complicated. It’s probably something you wouldn’t understand if you were not supposed to.

Seems to be well written and researched. To me it's a great subject matter too! Great price.

Great book, some misleading translations
Loved this book and how easy and straightforward it is to read with almost all the secret texts, but the translation on some of the verses could be misleading to someone that hasn’t read the original KJV translation of them. If you are a novel reader of these scriptures I would recommend reading both translations.

Gnostic Gospels is something everyone should read
The Gnostic Gospels are well worth reading. The Gospel of Thomas is the reason I purchased this book, and it had more to offer than most of the other books containing the Gospel of Thomas. With the purchase of this book you are also offered 4 additional books in PDF format and an audio book. This was a pleasant surprise. If you want to read and learn all you can about Christianity this is a good book to add to your own library.

Not a real author
I liked this book until I did my research and have come to the conclusion that Jeremy Payton is not a real person. This book is AI GENERATED. The publishing company is fake. The book is printed by Kindle Direct in Texas, whom I have already received 2 FAKE books from. From what I can tell from my research, Amazon//Kindle doesn’t care what they print and sell is real or fake.
